TEMPERANCE READING.
SONG oE The GLASS

With eyes inflamed and blear,
With features hollow and wan.
A drunkard sat in Tickety chair,
In his attic, all alone;
His person covered with rags,
His hair a tangled mass.
In voice that told Of a souls despair,
He sang the Song Of the GLASS;
Drink, drink, drink,
TIL the eye grows frenzied and wild:
Drink, drink drink,
Though it murders wife and child;
Drink, drink, drink,
Ay, quaff the poisoned bowl.
Though every drop it contains is death,
And ruin to the soul
Deep hid in the sparkling cup
grinning demon glares,
deceptive fiend of beautiful form
Concealing a thousand snares;
Beware of his comedy brow,
Beware of his noxious breath,
'Tis the devils sacrament he offers now,
Twill lure you on to death
Death by the suicides hand,
Death by the murderer's steel,
maniac's cell, hangman's cord,
A grave in the Potter's Field.
All this and more is bestowed,
Ay, more than tongue can tell
An hour of bliss, an eternal abode
In the sulphurous fumes OF HE'LL
o fends in human form!
men unworthy the name!
'Tis not good you re dealing out,
But ruin, disgrace and shame
Shame for the gray-haired sire,
Shame for his aged wife,
Shame for the innocent, prattling babe,
That follows him all through life.
o men with franchise crowned!
Awake from your sluggard's sleep;
Hear We not that wailing sound?
IT'S the nations women who weep
Weep for the thousands untold,
Who lie meath the rum-staiued grass,
While annually thousands renew theil
ranks
And sing the Song of the Glass.
Drink, drink, drink,
Till the eye grows frenzied and wild;
Drink, drink, drink,
Though it murders wife and child.
Drink, drink, drink,
Ay. quaff the poison-bowl;
Though every drop it contains is death,
And ruin to the soul

SO VERY QUEER.

She's very queer, yet kind to those
Who hear her story out;
The young folks think she hardly knows
just what she talks about;
His eyes, she says, were brighter far
Than all the worlds above,
For they brought nearer than q star
The gentle light of love.
Yes, she is queer, we all confess,
And yet her wrinkled face
Has such a wealth of tenderness,
She needs no youthful grace;
She talks of one so long away
And hearts so far apart;
She says it seems but yesterday
That he was near her heart.
IT'S hard to make her comprehend
That she has told before
The story of sailors end
Upon a friendless shore;
She says he was to duty true
And bravely met his doom,
Insisting that his eyes of blue
Still guide her through the gloom.
Perhaps when we approach the shore
Where worldly journeys end,
We, too may tell our stories DER
And younger ears offend;
Tor age has thought from youth apart,
And only time can teach
The charity Of mind and heart
That ought to govern each.

Fabrics-Rare Patterns in Dress-Etc.
New York Special Correspondence
The incoming Of the Lenten season is no
doubt welcome event to many who take
no thought of its sacred import. Rest is
needed, and they wins scare for none of
these things.n as well as those who are
religiously inclined, very gladly turn aside
from the whirl and excitement, the van
tiles and destinations of life in society, and
seek in retirement the repose which is
needed for body and mind.
The soiety girl, however, has a proverbi-
al faculty for killing two or more birds
with one stone, and while, from principle,
or moved by the weighty fact that it is
''the proper thing to do,' she seek the
seclusion which her boudoir grants, and
there improves the occasion by devising
sundry rare and bewitching toilets which
shall electrify society further on, wher
the dainty human butterflies of life once
again reassemble on the social stage.
Superb spring and summer fabrics now
crowd the shop windows, and from a
hasty but comprehensive glance at all the
luxury therein displayed, she has already
gained inspiration enough to last her for
weeks to come.

very attractive, novel and altogether love-

ME-. RANDALL,S TARIFF BILL.

MIR. RANDALL'S TARIFF BILL.
The RANDALL tariff conference have ut
last formulated bill for the reduction of
the revenue. The bill is thus itemized in
its reduction Tobacco tax, SIS, 900, 900;
free list of tariff, $1,000, 600; reductions OF
tariff, 5000, 90; fruit brandy, $500,
600; removal especial liquor licenses, malt
and spirituOus, leo, 600; alcohol in arts,
$1,000, 900; total about So, 900, 900.
If the feature of the bill providing for
the abolition of the tax on alcohol in the
arts fails in the House, Mr.. RANDALL will
then amend it by cutting the whisky tax
from 30 cents to 60 cents gallon. One
article on the free list in Mr.. RANDALL's
list is Weiss beer
The way Mr.. RANDALL will now pro-
coed will be to have this bill substituted
for the MORRISON bill. Mr.. RANDALL
will have the support, it is claimed, Of the
thirty-four Democrats who voted with him
and of sixty MORRISON Democrats. The
Republicans Will have to vote with Mr..
RANDALL, or be placed in position OF
voting against the reduction merely he
cause it is Democratic measure. But it
is expeeted that seventy-fiye Republicans
will support the measure. They cannot
afford to be mere ohStructiOnists.

WONDERFUL 90 ACCURACY OF
STATENIENT."

WONDERFUL CD ACCURAC1 or
STATEMENT"
The LysteRiqeHeer at this late day come
to the conclusion that ''the accuracy Of
statement both as to history and prophecy
of that confidential circular" sent out by
Messrs. SCoFIELD and CowDEN is won
derful." The IatelhgsReer says:
II charges that Mr.. Camden made the
Legislature Democratic "by means that
are n disgrace to civilizations" that he real
" relied upon Republicans and not upon
Democrats for reelection; THAT his defeat
will eliminate his money bags from future
politics." that with his defeat his purse
will be closed" his personal zeal will be
abated" and ''he will be permanently re,
tired" His money stole the Senator'S IN
the Fourth and Sixth districts, and SIX
members OF the House from Marion, Wood,
Jackson and Mason
Now the IateRigeneer knows, and Messrs.
SCoFIEI.D and CowDEN know, that thing
are implied in the letter that are not true,
They do not believe them; nor do the ma
iority of the Republicans believe them.
The hypocrisy and falsehOOd are 50 palpa
pie that no denial has been necessary, n
every one who reads the confidential let
ter" can see through it. II MeSSrs. SEQ
FIELD and COwDEN had believed the in
situations quoted above and had thought
that the Republicans believed them, they
would have sent that confidential circular
to Democratic members of the Legislature
instead of Republicans.
Republican bosses have been working
their hypocritical game too long. They
leave tracks that people everywhere car
recognize. In Ohio, while with sanctimO'

MORE TROUBLE OVER THE DOW
LAW.

The people of Ohio are having trouble
enough with the Dow law in finding out
what it means. The village of Wateryille
adopted prohibition under the eleventh
clause of the law. The saloon men OBJ
tanned an injunction, and when 4 motion
was made to dissolve it, Judge PIKE, Of
the Common Pleas Court, decided adverse
IL, thus making the injunction perpetual,
unless the decision is reversed by higher
court.
The grounds of the decision were: First
That the Waterville ordinance is too
broad in language and covers more ground
than is covered by the definition Of 'trat-
ticking in liquors, in Section Of the Dow
law. Second-That the municipality has
no right to prohibit entirely the sale, be
cause the last part Of Section II OF the
Dow law is unconstitutional. He declares
that the provision therein contained which
allows municipalities to prohibit the
traffic is unconstitutional, be-
cause, first, the Legislature has
nopower to prohibit, and hence no power
to allow a Council toprUhibit; second, that
the above clause is in cOntrayention OfSec-
ton 26, Article2, Ofthe State constitution,
which provides that all laws of a general
nature shall have uniform operation
throughout the State, nor shall any act eN-
cept such rs relate to public schools he
passed to take effect upon the approval OF
any other authority except the General
Assembly, except rs otherwise provided
in this constitution and third, that the
payment Of a tax previous to carrying on a
lawful business makes that business a
vested right during the time for which
the tax is paid.
This decision will create quite breeze
among Ohio people, They have the mis-
fortune of having a law whose import is not
understood Our West Virginia LegiSla-
tors, if they intend TO infict u new liquor
law upon the State should profit by the
mistakes of their Ohio brethren, and give
the people something that can be under
stood.

THE CANADIAN FISHERIES DIS
PUTE.


The action Of the United States Senate
in passing a bill authorizing the President
20 close American ports against Canadian
fish is advocating rather rash way to be-
gin settling an international difficulty. 1t
is good deal like one man trying to peace
fully settle quarrel with his neighbOr by
first walking up to him and knocking him
down and then entering into negotiations.
Our Government needs to pursue a
firm policy. The President, Secretary
BAYARD and Secretary MANNING have
expressed themselves in favor of such a
policy. But the Government can he firm,
without being unreasonable OF haSty.
There are some misunderstanding about
the treaty of 1918 that must soon be set
tied either by diplomacy OF blood. The
latter may cost too much life and treasure;
and the way to bring about the former is
not to begin it by irritating the parties at
difference.
What we need is a new treaty that will
make our relations with Canada more ex-
plicit. The treaty of 1918 prohibits Amer
lean fishermen from fishing nearer than
three miles from the Canadian shores.
The Canadians interpret this rs meaning
that the line shall be drawn from head
land to headland, while Americans claim
that the line shall follow at the distance of
three miles along the indentatiOns Of the
shore. Another difference is that the Do
minion Government regards it violation
of the treaty for American fishermen to en-
ter Canadian ports for any other purpose
than for shelter, repairs, coal or water,
while Americans think they should be per-
mitted to ''tOueh and trade"
The present Dominion Government in
sists on carrying out the treaty to the let
ter, contrary to the practice Of the past few
